In the context of optimizing herd management and animal health monitoring, this study aims to enhance the understanding of livestock feeding behavior through precise monitoring of the time each animal spends at the trough. The primary objective is to optimize feed supply management while concurrently enabling early detection of potential health issues. The fundamental innovation of this study revolves around the creation of an Internet of Things (IoT) Platform, leveraging Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and a specialized antenna cable. This platform facilitates the meticulous recording of animals’ ingress and egress times at the feeding trough, thereby providing valuable insights for improved livestock management and health monitoring.
